Be vit known that I, JOSEPH Wr TORREY, of Milford, Worcester county, StateK of Massachusetts, have invented an Apparatus or Protector for the Human Body against sudden changes from hot to cold tempera tures; and I do hereby declare the following description and accompanying drawings are sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which it most nearly apporta-ins to make and use my saidinventionv or improvements withoutv further invention or experiment.

The nature of my invention `consists in a cloth bag or case lined or filled with paper, and provided with a strap orV straps to hold itin'pcsition on the body. In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a plan of Vmy protector.

Figures `2 and 3 are elevations in perspective. A

Figure 4 sho-ws a. single protector, which may be worn either on the front or back. p

In these drawings, A and B represent clo'th bags, which may be made open at the top for the insertion of' one .or more pieces of paper, either in its ordinary state, or prepared, by its coinbination with chemical or other materials, to make the paper more durable. It should also be of a proper thickness for the most serviceable wear of which the material is capable. The bags A and B may be made in thc form' shown, or in such other form as may suit the convenience. and condition of'the wearer, and provided with straps S S, or rigid or elastic material, to pass over the shoulders and support the protectors. When worn singly, one strap like S, fi'g. 4, is su-lricient.4 i

It is well known that paper is one of the slowest conductors of llc-at and cold, which makes it one of the best protectors of the body known; besides, it' is generally far cheaper than any other known fabric which is adapted to the same purposes. t

I am aware that paper and cloth have been combined, and that paper alone has been before used in thev manufacture of bosoms. These I do not claim; but

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- The new varticle offmanufacture described, to wit, a breast and back-protector, consisting of' a cloth bag or cas-e lined or filled with paper, substantially as described.

i I JOSEPH W. TORREY.
